UK Prince thanks VN’s President for wedding gift

UK Prince William and Princess Catherine Middleton (now the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge) have sent a letter of thanks to Vietnamese State
President Nguyen Minh Triet for his generous present to their Royal
Wedding that was celebrated on April 29.

The letter says:
“Catherine and I would like to extend our deepest thanks to you for
your extremely generous gift of the lovely and unusual painting.”

“It was so kind of you to think of us in this way, and we were truly
delighted that you should wish to celebrate our marriage through such a
wonderful gift,” the Prince said.

“Your thoughtfulness and kindness have touched us both and we are humbled and honoured by your generosity,” he added.

President Triet sent a lacquer painting by painter Thanh Chuong to the
Royal Wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton.

Chuong had two exhibitions in the UK in 1995 and 2001 and his works are loved by the British people./.
